Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 C or 1/2 stick butter 4 Cups slice leeks (white and pale green parts only) about 2 lbs.
Salt & pepper
1 Tbls butter
2 Cups whipping cream
3 large garlic cloves minced
4 lbs of potatoes (I used Yukon Gold, but you could use russets),
peeled and thinly sliced
2 Cups grated Gruyere cheese-about 8 oz.

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in large skillet. Add leeks and stir to coat. Reduce heat to med-low. Cover and cook until leeks are tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 min. Uncover and cook until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 3 min. Season with salt and pepper. Rub 9x13x2 in baking dish(use glass or ceramic)with the 1 Tbls butter. Mix cream and garlic. Arrange half of potatoes in prepared dish. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with the leeks. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Ladle half of the garlic/cream mixture over. Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, cheese and cream. Bake at 375 until potatoes are tender and top is deep golden brown. Approximately 1hr & 15 min (or so). Liquid will be absorbed. Let stand at room temp for 15 min before serving.
